I must add, in my personal opinion, equestrian sport has no place at
the Olympics at all, as the riders are relying on another being for their
sport, rather than their own athletic prowess.
I've thought about that too. I think I disagree (surprised?) a little bit
about the riders depending o

Janice needs to help us out here. Well, with a breed with such small
numbers, doing nothing that requires skill or finesse - just a lot of speed
and lot of tack?

them mounted on horses. the horses had on different sorts of tack.

a curb are not allowed in any traditional competitive situation. We always
made harsh mental judgements on the rare occassion we actually saw soemone
using one.

The jawbands of the English and flash nosebands should rest high up on
the solid nasal bone where the horse is less sensitive to pressure. A wide
jawband can exert little pain on this hard inflexible skull bone and does
not impede breathing, since it runs above the nostril area.
That brings

As a trainer and clinician I am always being asked a variety of
horse-related questions. I think the single most common one asked, however,
is "what kind of bit should I use on my horse?"

The "Blow Area" of the Nostrils:
When a horse is breathing heavily, the "blow area" of the nostrils is easily
observed. When a horse is breathing quietly, you can feel it with your
